Nestled in the heart of Spokane’s Perry District since March 2014, Perry Street Brewing has become a beloved neighborhood hub for craft beer enthusiasts and food lovers alike. Founded by local couple Ben and Christy, Perry Street Brewing embodies their vision of creating a welcoming space where the entire family can gather and enjoy quality time together. They intentionally chose their Perry Street location, recognizing the strong sense of community that defines the neighborhood.
Originally focused solely on brewing exceptional craft beer, Perry Street Brewing initially partnered with local food trucks to offer their patrons tasty eats. However, recognizing the desire for a more integrated dining experience, they expanded to include a cozy kitchen. Helmed by Chef Alisha, this small but mighty kitchen has crafted an impressive menu centered around fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Staying true to the owners’ vision of farm-to-table cuisine in a relaxed craft brewery setting, Chef Alisha’s culinary creations perfectly complement Perry Street Brewing’s acclaimed beers.
The Perry Street Brewing kitchen boasts an all-female staff, a testament to their commitment to hard work and passion. Their menus are refreshed twice a year, reflecting the seasonality of local produce. The current Spring/Summer menu perfectly captures the essence of the season: think vibrant, fresh, and fruity flavors.
One standout dish is the Cheese & Charcuterie Board. Visually stunning and equally delicious, it’s a celebration of Pacific Northwest flavors. Featuring Leavenworth cheese, local berries, the iconic Cougar Gold cheese, lemon zest goat cheese, creamy bleu cheese, fresh fruit, pickles, seasonal jam, and mustard, all artfully arranged and served with slices of Common Crumb baguette. For those unfamiliar, Cougar Gold is a must-try local cheese, a true taste of the region. There’s no better way to unwind than with a quality drink and a shareable cheese board, and Perry Street Brewing truly excels with this offering. It’s an absolute must-order.
For a lighter option, the Citrus Salad is a refreshing choice. This generous bowl combines fresh spinach, juicy oranges, seasonal berries, and cranberries, topped with tangy goat cheese, a house-made seed mix, and red onion. It’s perfectly dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette and you can add grilled turkey or chicken for protein. Recommended by the chef as a post-workout meal, it lived up to its promise of being light and fresh, with a delightful berry and cheese combination enhanced by the flavorful balsamic vinaigrette – so good you’ll want to use every drop of dressing.
On previous visits, the Thai Quinoa Bowl was a personal favorite, but due to seasonal quinoa availability, it’s a Fall and Winter specialty. However, Perry Street Brewing cleverly created the Thai Chicken Wrap as a Spring/Summer alternative, capturing the beloved flavors of the quinoa bowl in a convenient wrap form. If you’re a fan of the bowl, the wrap is definitely worth trying!
The Rockwood Chicken Sandwich is another highlight, featuring the region’s beloved Cougar Gold cheese again, alongside cranberries, red onion, seasonal greens, and pesto aioli, all nestled in a soft challah bun. The sweet and savory combination makes this sandwich a winner, especially for Cougar Gold cheese aficionados.
Perry Street Brewing prioritizes local sourcing, obtaining many ingredients from distributors like Linc Foods Co-op and incorporating fresh produce from the Perry Street Farmers Market during the Spring and Summer months. Chef Alisha’s commitment to highlighting seasonal, local ingredients truly shines through in every dish.
Taco Tuesday at Perry Street Brewing is a Spokane favorite, offering incredible street tacos at just $5 for two. Even if you miss Tuesday, you can still enjoy their daily house special taco.
Families are warmly welcomed at Perry Street Brewing. With a dedicated kids’ menu, games to keep children entertained, and a relaxed, low-key atmosphere, it’s a great spot for family outings. They also boast a fantastic dog-friendly outdoor patio and multiple screens, including a projector, for special events.
While the food is exceptional, Perry Street Brewing is, of course, renowned for its beer. They earned national recognition by winning the “Greatest Session Beer in America” award at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) for their Session IPL. This prestigious accolade speaks volumes about their brewing expertise. Perry Street Brewing regularly rotates their beer selection, typically offering 8-9 diverse beers on tap, with a focus on experimental and hoppy brews. For those hesitant to try something new, the friendly and welcoming staff are always ready to guide you and ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
A visit to Perry Street Brewing promises friendly service, innovative and “hoppy” beers, and delicious, fresh food. It’s the perfect neighborhood brewery experience in Spokane.
